About this position
This postdoctoral project at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (MNHN) focuses on the bioinformatic and analytical study of high-throughput sequencing data from historical soils and herbarium-derived material. The researcher will work on sequence assembly, extraction of microbial sequences, and validation of the ancient nature of sequences recovered from herbarium specimens.
The position also includes taxonomic and functional annotation of ancient and modern sequences, management and submission of data to databases, and quantitative analysis using R. A further part of the work involves extracting nucleic acids from new herbarium and modern samples and sequencing them, combining wet-lab sample preparation with computational analysis.
The project environment is strongly research-oriented, with expectations to present findings to the scientific community in poster and conference formats in English, share results in public-facing events, and contribute to scientific publications.
